Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong must attend three sessions of training daily. This was report in the New Straits Times on Wednesday 18 January 2012.

====== * ====== part of article ====== * ======

KOO Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong will have to follow the stringent rules and regulations laid down by doubles head coach Tan Kim Her. And his proposal received the nod from the BA of Malaysia (BAM) high performance committee yesterday.

This means Kien Keat-Boon Heong, unlike previously, must attend three sessions of training daily and abide by the same regulations set for other players in order to revive their career.

The committee, consisting of BAM secretary Ng Chin Chai, National Sports Institute (NSI) coordinator for the Road to London programme Kol (rtd) Wong Ah Jit and former international Datuk James Selvaraj, also decided to trim Kien Keat-Boon Heong's tournaments so that they can focus on their preparations for the Olympics in July.

Kien Keat-Boon Heong's training is conducted by Pang Cheh Chang but preparing the duo will be the responsibility of Kim Her and South Korean coach Yoo Yong Sung.

The committee also made leeway for Kien Keat-Boon Heong as it is not too concerned about short term results but more about them bouncing back for the Olympics.

"We have had a fruitful discussion with the coaches as well as Kien Keat and Boon Heong and both have agreed to abide by the rules," said Chin Chai.

"Kien Keat has given the assurance that he wants to adapt to all the changes and is ready train three sessions a day. Both players have opened up and were sincere in accepting the decision by the coaches.

"The training is now the responsibility of not just Cheh Chang but also Kim Her and Yong Sung. As the head coach, Kim Her has accepted the responsibility of the pair's performance but the high performance committee and BAM will also be accountable.

"We are not worried about immediate results but we want to see them at their best again in the Olympics.

"There is a possibility their performance will drop due to the new training schedule and they may not perform in the coming tournaments but what is important is the Olympics.

"There is no point if they can win titles all the way but fail in the preliminary rounds of the Olympics."

Ah Jit said although the emphasis is not on results, their performance in training will be closely monitored.

"The tournaments are a run-up to the Olympics. We are not looking for immediate results but there must be continuous improvement," he said.

team work??"The training is now the responsibility of not just Cheh Chang but also Kim Her and Yong Sung. As the head coach, Kim Her has accepted the responsibility of the pair's performance but the high performance committee and BAM will also be accountable.

what consequences? be specific. wayang2? “There will be no special treatment for them. They understand that they will train with the other doubles players and need to show improvement by April or face the consequences.”

PETALING JAYA: Troubled doubles shuttlers Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong will have to spend more time training and less time competing to shape up for the Olympics.That is the solution the BA of Malaysia’s newly-formed High Performance Team (HPT) of Ng Chin Chai, Datuk James Selvaraj and Wong Ah Jit finally came up with after a three-hour meeting yesterday.Kien Keat-Boon Heong, the world No. 7 pair, will forgo their chase for ranking points and focus on building up their physical strength and improving their game instead.That means they will only compete in a maximum of five tournaments from now until the Olympics in July – a move which will certainly see their world rankings slide even further. The reasoning is that, as they are unlikely to finish in the top four in the rankings to be seeded for the Olympics, it is best they focus on mending the fissures in their game instead.Down and out: Malaysia’s Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong will compete in only five tournaments prior to the London Olympics in July.“Previously, our strategy was for Kien Keat-Boon Heong to be among the seeded pairs for the Olympics,” said Chin Chai.“But that now seems virtually impossible as they are not performing well so we have had to change our plans.“It doesn’t matter whether they are the fifth ranked pair in the world or No. 16 because only the top four get seeded while the others will be in a blind draw.“Right now our priority is to improve the physical side of their game so that they will have a fighting chance for an Olympic medal. To do that, we’re drastically reducing the number of tournaments they will be competing in from now until July.“We will increase training for speed, power and endurance according to the coaches’ recommendations and, hopefully, in six months, we’ll see a different Kien Keat-Boon Heong,” added Chin Chai.The duo will only compete in the Thomas Cup qualifiers and Finals, the All-England in March, the India Open in April and the Indonesia Open in June.James added that the pair were well aware of their situation and have promised to give their best in training.“Both of them were very down-to-earth during the meeting. Kien Keat, who has received most of the criticism, is very concerned about his form,” said James.“They accept the fact that they have really been poor and have vowed to give their all in training.“There will be no special treatment for them. They understand that they will train with the other doubles players and need to show improvement by April or face the consequences.”The once dominant Kien Keat-Boon Heong have suffered a drastic drop in form and confidence and have tumbled to No. 7 in the world rankings.Their latest embarrassment came in the Malaysian Open where they bowed out tamely to South Korea’s No. 4 pair Kim Ki-jung-Kim Sa-rang in the second round.The HPT also acknowledged that top women singles player Tee Jing Yi has a shot at earning a ticket to London and will be sent for more tournaments before the qualifying period ends.The 21-year-old Jing Yi is currently ranked No. 60 in the world and needs to get into the top 32 by April.

Why it takes soooo long for the 3 coaches plus KOR import, high performance dude, BAM boss, to know now...1-coach in Rexy has pointed this out to KKK/TBH and an outside coach in Park in Japan pointed this out too
Don't expect much now till OLY12. huh?...read again, this means stop complaining and criticizing for the next 7 months, and if still screw up by then, for sure the 3-stooges and the lawyer has a Plan B...starting with firing Yoo-Yoo and send him back to KimChi land...

.Why? Because they still do not believe in what Rexy and Park have said.

I disagree...it is KKK/TBH who find Rexy training system too hard, they complain and quit.
If you watch Rexy-Ricky, their speed, power, technical, etc needs fitness to deliver. They train like no tomorrow. There is no easy way out.
Anyone who plays sport in a competitive manner, not only badminton, whether social/recreational game, knows without fitness which includes stamina and conditioning, the player will die on the court and their lungs and legs will scream with pain. Pro baddy is a whole different level when the technical among the very top players is such a small margin, and even if you win one match, the next round gets harder and more physically demanding.
The BAM fellas are kissing up to KKK/TBH as they think KKK/TBH is their prayer to OLY gold/bonus and because it is easy to replace Rexy than piss of the players, so the BAM duds capitulate to KKK/TBH and push out Rexy.
Pang is the chosen one to coach because KKK/TBH can manipulate him to do what they want i.e. party time. TKH put in charge soon realize there is no hope in hell that KKK/TBH can win anything with their lack of fitness, rather than play hero and be responsible (on the chopping block) for KKK/TBH performance then look for a sacrificial lamb in KimChi master Yoo-Yoo and when KKK/TBH start dropping like flies in recent tournaments, the BAM see their gold medal hope vaporize and call this high profile meeting with the 3 coaches, NCC, KG, Nadzmi and high performance dud and whoa-lah, they discover KKK/TBH failure is their lack of fitness....darn it takes these genius so loooong to find out.

The BAM fellas are kissing up to KKK/TBH

Actually KKK still wanted to be trained by Rexy?Pang who has ambition had persuaded Tan to train under him..since Pang had been training Tan since junior years....Tan told KKK if he did not agree then they won't a partner anymore....that's how story goes...suddenly Pang didn't realize that BAM put him under Tan Kim Her...

Pang should be thankful TKH hire Yoo, and Yoo can take the fall when TBH/KKK screw up more and kaput from OLY. At least Yoo gets employed/paid for 6 more months before he balik to KOR. The way I see is, Rexy had coached THB/KKK to AG, AE gold and SS Opens too, and they had been incredible in their performance with speed, power and technique, a winning combination and a good, passionate coach. Stick with that, hands off and let Rexy do his job.
Why someone thinks they know so much that they have to stick their hand into this when these people know nothing about running BAM. That is something I could not understand. Now forget about winning or even medalling in OLY for KKK/TBH, to get past each round is a miracle.
I look at Park in Japan, hands off and let Park run with confidence and control, and JAP is doing not badly these days. That is a good model to adopt.

Boy, Pang just dig himself a big hole and a deep grave... May he rest in peace... So does Tan who agrees to this. Maybe this is also one way for BAM to fffff of all these smart gundoos?

Maybe this is why KKK has not been playing well and maybe he is messing Pang up for messing up everything??? All KKK need to do is to continue with the current miserable form and that's it. Adios Mr Pang...
